Bust of the Virgin, ca. 1390–95. Bohemian. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Cloisters Collection, 2005 (2005.393) | Elegiac, dignified, and poised, the Virgin tilts her youthful head as if burdened by the weight of the ornate crown, and her downcast eyes and pursed lips convey her sorrowful resignation.
